Depth Charts

The 28-year-old will finish the 2014-15 season with eight goals and 24 points in 37 games this season. The news is disappointing but the Coyotes are so far out of the playoff picture that it's probably better for Hanzal to take his time with this injury.

Mark Arcobello has been a scoring machine for the Coyotes since being claimed off waivers on February 11.

Arcobello has five goals in eight games as a member of the Arizona Coyotes. "He's been opportunistic," coach Dave Tippett said. "When he's had a chance to score, he's chipped in. In our situation, our scoring has been down. Obviously, he's been a good player in that respect. He's one of those guys trying to establish himself as a full-time NHLer, and he's come in and played well for us." He may be worth looking at in deep pools at this time.

Lauri Korpikoski scored a pair of goals in Sunday's 3-2 come from behind win in Montreal.

Korpikoski cut the Montreal lead to 2-1 after he deflected a point shot behind Habs' goaltender Dustin Tokarski. His second goal was a little lucky as he beat Tokarski with a shot that went off Montreal defenseman Alexei Emelin. The 28-year-old had just four goals coming into this game, and he had scored just once in his previous 15 games. He has 17 points in 46 contests this season. He has no fantasy upside going forward.

Martin Erat potted a goal for the Coyotes in their 4-1 loss to the Bruins on Saturday night.

Erat scored his ninth goal of the season at 10:21 of the third period, with assists from Shane Doan and Keith Yandle. He has points in four of his past five games. It will be interesting to see if a team with cap space jumps at Erat as he can still be a great influence on a team’s offense, despite not being a 20-goal guy anymore.

The Arizona Coyotes have claimed Tye McGinn off waivers from the San Jose Sharks.

McGinn has a goal and four assists in 33 games in 2014-15. The Coyotes have been big sellers in the lead-up to the trade deadline, so claiming McGinn will provide them with someone who at least has a bit of NHL experience to help fill the void to a marginal degree.

Doan has 12 goals and 29 points in 52 games this season. His offensive production has ticked down significantly this season, but at the age of 38 we wouldn't count on him bouncing back in the final months of the campaign.

Sam Gagner scored two power play goals in the first period on Thursday night in a 4-3 loss to the New York Rangers.

Gagner had been pointless in his previous five games, and has managed 30 points through 61 games this season. It was his third multi-goal game in the desert and his 14th straight game he did not finish above zero in plus/minus, a span in which he's been -10.

BJ Crombeen and Dylan Reese will once again be scratched on Saturday evening as their Coyotes take on the Bruins.

Reese has played just once since being recalled, and Crombeen has seen just five games of action in the month of February alone. So it's difficult to recommend either plug for your lineup, even in a spot-start. Crombeen however does have 55 PIMs in 39 games this year.

"I think anybody would be lying if they told you it wasn't in the back of their mind," said Moss. "It's something that's part of the game, and I think as a player you try to focus on the games that we have to play. You're not worried about what might be happening towards the trade deadline, but I think for sure you try to prepare like a professional and play the games and whatever happens, happens. But it's going to be sad if guys are gone." Moss is playing out a one-year, $800,000 contract. He doesn't contribute much offensively, but a team might be interested in him for his services as a bottom-six forward.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored his 17th goal of the season on Monday night, good for tops among defensemen, but the Coyotes still fell 5-2 to the Avalanche.

After Kyle Chipchura and Lucas Lessio both had their shots blocked near the left slot, the puck bounced back to Ekman-Larsson who wasted no time sending the puck past Semyon Varlamov. The Swedish blue line phenom added four hits and two takeaways during his 20:47 of work as well. He now has 30 points on the season, good for 25th overall among defensemen.

Michael Stone potted a goal for the Coyotes in their 4-2 loss against the Lightning on Saturday night.

Stone tallied the game’s first goal at 14:02 of the first period. He has points in four of his past five games, and now has three goals and 14 points on the year. Mark Arcobello scored the other goal for Arizona.

John Moore is heading to the Arizona Coyotes after being acquired in a package deal for Keith Yandle.

The full details of the trade are: Moore, prospect Anthony Duclair, a first round pick in 2016 and a 2nd round pick in 2015 are going to Arizona, while the Rangers get Yandle, Chris Summers and a 4th round pick. Moore is a former first round pick who has had some trouble finding his place in the NHL. The 24-year-old has been a healthy scratch several times this season and a fresh start with the Coyotes may do his career some good.

Brandon Gormley and BJ Crombeen will continue to sit as the Coyotes take on the Rangers on Saturday night.

Gormley's future is bright, but he hasn't blossomed just yet. Crombeen remains as a decent depth option if you're in a league that rewards tough guys, as he has 43 hits, and 53 PIMs in 38 games thus far.

Dahlbeck was acquired by Arizona as part of the Antoine Vermette trade. He was briefly sent to the minors to make him eligible for the AHL playoffs and then promptly recalled. Dahlbeck had a goal in four games with the Blackhawks in 2014-15.

Mike Smith was pulled in the second period of the Coyotes’ 4-1 loss to the Bruins on Saturday night.

Smith gave up all four goals on 20 shots. He has lost eight games in a row as his season has been nothing short of a disaster. Smith has a 3.34 goals-against average and .894 save percentage. Louis Domingue came in and stopped all 14 shots he faced. He has a 2.26 GAA and .911 SV% in parts of three games.

Louis Domingue stopped all 14 shots on Saturday as he took over from Mike Smith in the second period.

Domingue was recalled on Thursday and could get the call in goal as early as Tuesday against the Ducks. Smith has struggled most of the season and while the Coyotes want him to regain his confidence, they are mired in a nine game losing streak so it would not surprise us at all if Domingue got the start. Stay tuned.
